About This Home

Originally built in the late 1800s and thoughtfully rebuilt in 1986, this home preserves it's timeless architectural character while offering a spacious and versatile layout that meets today's standards. Gracious living areas provide flexibility for both intimate settings and larger gatherings, blending classic details with endless potential. This semi-detached home is a rare offering for Old Town thanks to the expansive outdoor areas and a dedicated parking spot with direct access to the home. The main level is designed for both refined entertaining and everyday comfort, featuring a charming eat-in kitchen, a formal dining room perfect for hosting, and an expansive open-concept living room with multiple seating areas centered around a wood-burning fireplace. Three separate access points to the yard create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, ideal for al fresco dining and effortless entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a true retreat, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, a separate dressing room, and ensuite bath. The generous footprint offers outstanding potential to create a spa-inspired sanctuary with an expanded walk-in closet. A conveniently located upper-level laundry room adds a rare level of functionality and ease of access. The unfinished basement features multiple windows and ample ceiling height, which presents an exceptional opportunity to expand the home’s living space—perfect for a recreation room, guest suite, fitness studio, or wine cellar. Ideally located just moments from King Street’s boutiques, dining, and waterfront, this home offers a truly rare opportunity to enjoy premier Old Town living with the added luxury of space, privacy, parking, and the ability to create a one-of-a-kind residence.
